Oh no I think I see DLP Rainbow

[SLIM]

So today I got time to sit down and have a good play around with my
Optoma hd65. On games I dont see anything if I do I dont notes it but I then put Die hard 4 dvd on the ps3 and I think I can see the rainbow effect. its hard to put in words but im gutted as its only got around 5 hours on the lamp so looks like im going to have to sell : and try out a LCD projector.

So can anyone tell me a good lcd projector to look for around £500 max thanks

Christ, give it a chance

From what you've said I doubt you'll see many/any rainbows in a few weeks.

oh is it something that will pass this is my first projector so not seen anything like it before lol.

Slim, it's certainly true to say that some people find the effect fades, or at least that it bothers them less.

I'd certainly give it a go.

BTW, if you're watching a PAL DVD the output will be at 50hz. If you watch a Blu-ray Disc you can set it to output at 1080i/60hz. Some people find that the faster refresh rate helps.

Getting used to the Rainbow Effect - do you notice it less over time?

Hi thanks for the input ill give it a good couple of gows to see if I can get used to it or see it less. Yer it was 1080/50hz could I set it to 720p/60hz for dvds do you know ?. Im not at home now so unable to try it.

after looking at the above link it looks like I could maybe do with a Neutral Density filter but what size would I kneed and how would I fit it is there a screw thread or something ?

I doubt its a filter issue at this stage , as I said give it a few weeks to let the eye/brain adjust.
